National Garden Clubs, Inc. has designated the first full week in June
of each year as National Garden Week. The dates for the next two
years will be June 1 - 7, 2008 and June 7 - 13, 2009. National
Garden Week is a fun week during the year and many things can be done
in such a short time. Clubs should plan a year in advance as most
Florida Clubs end their activities in mid May.
Suggestions are as follows: Get local stores to contribute potted
plants (i.e. Wal-Mart, Lowes and Home Depot)to be presented to The
Chamber of Commerce, County Library, Local Hospital, your city
and county. Have the Mayor sign a proclamation with as many of
your members present as possible. It is important to have
publicity for all local papers. Also have several gardens
designated for tours. Plant a tree in a City Park with Youth
involved. Do not forget your senior citizens. Deliver as many
flower arrangements to them as possible. As you deliver these flowers,
you may have green and white streamers which promotes public awareness.
Publicity is the most important key to the successful promotion of
National Garden Week.
Plan an activity each day and apply for National Award #53 and FFGC Award #66.
